Bryce Harper says Braves, Mets have the rudest fans

Bryce Harper just gave Atlanta Braves fans another reason to despise him.

While speaking with media during All-Star festivities, Harper said Braves and Mets fans were more rude than Philly fans.

The Braves (42-45) currently sit at second in the NL East behind the Washington Nationals. The New York Mets (39-47) sit at fourth while the Philadelphia Phillies (29-58) are in last place.

In an upset, Bryce Harper said Phillies fans were not as rude as Mets or Braves fans.

Braves fans took to Twitter to defend their team and fanbase:

I haven't been this proud to be a Braves fan in a long, long time. #Bravesproud #atlantabraves
